Tissue plasminogen activator for the treatment of thromboembolism in infants and children

TLDR
It is concluded that tissue plasminogen activator is effective in inducing clot lysis in children and it is recommended that a dose of 0.1 mg/kg per hour be started and increased gradually if clot dissolution does not occur, with close monitoring for bleeding.

Antithrombotic therapy in neonates and children: Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis, 9th ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines.

TL;DR: The evidence supporting most recommendations for antithrombotic therapy in neonates and children remains weak and Studies addressing appropriate drug target ranges and monitoring requirements are urgently required in addition to site- and clinical situation-specific thrombosis management strategies.

Antithrombotic Therapy in Neonates and Children: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition)

TL;DR: Within this chapter, the majority of recommendations are separate for neonates and children, reflecting the significant differences in epidemiology of thrombosis and safety and efficacy of therapy in these two populations.

Cloning and expression of human tissue-type plasminogen activator cDNA in E. coli

TL;DR: Bacterial clones containing human tissue-type plasminogen activator cDNA sequences were identified in a cDNA library prepared using gel-fractionated mRNA from human melanoma cells and a polypeptide was produced having the fibrinolytic properties characteristic of authentic human t-PA.

Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) trial—Phase I: Hemorrhagic manifestations and changes in plasma fibrinogen and the fibrinolytic system in patients treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and streptokinase

TL;DR: In the doses administered, rt-PA induces systemic fibrinogenolysis that is substantially less intense than that induced by streptokinase, and emphasize the need for avoidance of invasive procedures and for meticulous care in the selection and management of patients subjected to thrombolytic therapy.

TL;DR: One decade after the Food and Drug Administration approved the plasminogen activators streptokinase and urokinase, thrombolytic therapy is no longer a novel approach to the treatment of thrombotic disease.
